These little buggers have successfully killed all of my sunflowers

coneflowers. Aside from putting out a hit on them, any quick fixes to kill
them? Anyone know where one would buy ladybugs?

I've tried the diatomaceous powders to no avail, and another "insectigone"
spray, which, if anything, seems to have given them a good laugh at my
expense.

Thanks!

Strong sprays of water from the hose works wonders.
